Objective
The objective of this project is to understand the principles of engineering and physics by constructing a bridge using Popsicle sticks. Students will learn about structural design, load distribution, and the importance of stable constructions. This project aims to enhance creativity, problem-solving skills, and comprehension of basic engineering concepts.
Scientific interpretation
Building a bridge with Popsicle sticks helps you understand how structures bear weight and remain stable. Engineers use similar principles to design real bridges. The Popsicle sticks represent beams, and how you arrange them will affect the bridge’s ability to support weight. By experimenting with different designs, you will learn about tension and compression forces and how they impact the stability of structures.
